Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 301 Changing Houses

When the old man saw Lin Qingyan, he was surprised for a moment, but soon asked Lin Qingyan:

"Girl, are you planning to buy a house or a shop?"

"Master, I want to buy both the house and the shop, but I don't have enough money."

As Lin Qingyan spoke, she took out a box of unknown material from her bag.

This kind of box was purchased by Lin Qingyan on Modern Online. It is a food-preserving box that can keep the items stored inside as fresh as possible.

She handed the box to the old man, who looked at her in confusion.

"Open it and see if this can be used to pay for part of the rent."

Those who can live in such a house must have been from a powerful or wealthy family, and their knowledge is always better than that of ordinary people.

When the old man opened the box, he knew that the things inside were extraordinary.

“Is this ginseng wild?”

Although he had some knowledge, he was not an expert in this area after all, and he didn't know how old the ginseng in his hand was.

However, he had a good friend whose ancestors were imperial physicians and whose family inherited medical skills.

Because of his good medical skills, many people needed him, so he avoided disputes in the past few years.

He lives not far from here and is currently helping a big shot to recuperate. You can take this ginseng over to let him have a look.

"Girl, this ginseng looks quite old. I can't just fool you. Let's find a professional to identify it so as not to waste the value of this ginseng. What do you think?"

The old man closed the box, stood up, and continued:

"He is a famous old Chinese doctor. He has a clinic not far from here. Let's go see him together."

"Row!"

Lin Qingyan accompanied him out.

When they arrived at the clinic, they were taken directly to the backyard by the waiter inside. The old man shouted loudly before he even reached Mr. Wang's room.

"Mr. Wang, I got a ginseng. I want your help."

Mr. Wang, who was busy inside, heard his old friend's voice, put down the documents in his hand and put them aside. As soon as he stood up, he saw Mr. Li walking in with a little girl.

He glanced at Lin Qingyan and was about to ask his friend when he was stopped by his friend.

"Old Wang, come and help me see what year this ginseng is."

Mr. Wang couldn't care about anything else at this moment, and hurriedly took the box from his friend.

As soon as he opened it, his eyes lit up. He picked up the ginseng with gloves on, smelled it gently, and frowned again.

"This ginseng looks a bit strange."

The old man's expression tensed, and Lin Qingyan also became worried.

"What's wrong? Is it fake? This shouldn't be the case. I see this is ginseng!"

“No, it’s not fake.

I think this ginseng is a bit strange. Judging from its appearance, it should be about 30 or 40 years old.

But it smells very potent, like it's more than a hundred years old. Can you give me a little bit of whisker so I can test it?"

Old Wang asked this while looking at Lin Qingyan. Although Lin Qingyan didn't say a word after coming in, he just felt that the ginseng belonged to this little girl.

This girl has a smell similar to ginseng, which makes people feel very comfortable.

"Sure, is one enough? If not, you can cut a slice."

Lin Qingyan reached out to break off a whisker, but was quickly stopped by Old Wang.

"Girl, girl, you can't break it like this, it's such a waste, I'll do it myself."

After Mr. Wang finished speaking, he took out a small knife from somewhere and gently cut off a little bit of the whisker. It was really just a little bit. I don't know how to describe the size of the whisker. It was almost negligible.

Old General Wang put the cut whisker into his mouth, squinting his eyes to feel something, and after a while he opened his bright eyes and looked at the old man.

"Your disease can be cured. Even if this ginseng cannot completely cure you, it can at least let you live a few more years."

Old Li looked at his old friend in disbelief.

"Really?"

"Can I still lie to you?"

Lao Wang said something to him in a bad mood, then turned to look at Lin Qingyan.

"Girl, I know this ginseng is yours. Where did you get it? Do you have any more?"

"This came from a mountain."

Lin Qingyan said to him with a smile.

“The water and mountains on this mountain must be very good to produce such good ginseng.

Girl, if you see it again in the future, you must sell it to me. I will give you a price that will satisfy you."

Old Wang did not snatch the ginseng from the old man. He knew that his old friend was sick and the ginseng could prolong his life. He could not take his old friend's life.

"How much do you want for this ginseng?"

Old Wang looked at the ginseng in his hand, reluctant to let it go, so he could only change the subject.

"I want to sell the house and a shop outside. The girl doesn't have enough money, so bring this to pay for it."

Old Li is now holding the ginseng tightly in his arms. No one wants to die while they are still alive. At least there is hope when they are alive. But when they die, there is really nothing left.

Now ginseng is his lifeblood, but he seems to have forgotten that he hasn't paid for it yet.

"Exchange the house and the shop? Then you won't lose anything. You won't lose anything by exchanging these two things for this ginseng."

Old Wang didn't know that Lin Qingyan had only intended to exchange the ginseng for one of them.

Old Li didn't expect this ginseng to be so valuable, and he didn't think too much about it. He was ready to die.

What need does he have for a house and a shop to survive now? He has a small house somewhere else, and his children don't even know about it.

He had planned to sell his house and shop here and move there so that his children would not be able to find him.

"Yes, this ginseng is more than enough to exchange for the house and the shop. I, the old man, got the upper hand. Girl, are you willing to exchange the ginseng for the three-story house and the shop facing the street?"

The old man held the ginseng and had no intention of letting go.

Old Wang couldn't help but complain in his heart, he hadn't even changed hands yet, but he was already holding the ginseng so tightly. If the little girl really didn't want to change with him, would he just sit there and cry?

"Switch with you!"

Lin Qingyan never expected that the ginseng she placed in the space as a decoration would actually be exchanged for a house and a shop, so that she could use the money in her hands to buy more houses.

"Old Wang, please be a witness in this matter. Witness the exchange of the house for ginseng, so that those unfilial sons won't come to trouble the girl again."

Mr. Li thought about his children's temperament.

Then he wrote a sales document in front of Mr. Wang, and the three of them signed it.

The old man said to Lin Qingyan, "Keep this document. If someone comes to cause trouble in the future, you can take it to the police to deal with it. Let's go to the Housing Authority to transfer the ownership before the end of the get off work day."

As he was about to go out with Lin Qingyan, Old Wang hurriedly stopped them.

"Girl, come and sit with me often in the future. Remember to come to me if you have something good."

Then he said to the old man:

"Don't take the ginseng with you. I'm going to make medicine out of it. You can't eat it directly. Leave it here to help you make medicine!"

The old man reluctantly left the ginseng with Mr. Wang and went to the Housing Authority with Lin Qingyan.
